    Q
    How to kill wild violets in fescue without killing the grass, will Crossbow work for this?
    Can I use Crossbow to kill wild violets in fescue grass without harming the grass? And how many application cycles are necessary to do the job?
    A
    Crossbow is not supposed to harm established grasses and should pose no threat on your Fescue grass according to the manufacturer.  This being said, we always recommend treating a small area first to test the results as the product is only labeled to be applied on rangeland and permanent grass pastures but not to residential lawns.  As long as your grass is not stressed by drought and it is healthy the grass will not be harmed.  For applying over grasses you need to make sure you apply at the recommended levels on the product label.
    We do carry Fertilome Weed Free Zone and it is labeled for wild violet and for use in Fescue lawns.  This product is labeled to be applied to residential lawns and is a little more cost effective as well.
     Crossbow is not supposed to harm established grasses and should pose no threat on your Bermuda grass according to the manufacturer.  This being said, we always recommend treating a small area first to test the results.  As long as your grass is not stressed by drought and it is healthy the grass will not be harmed - See more at: http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/crossbow-herbicide-p-1514.html#sthash.nPi2OXAN.dpuf

    Q
    How do I kill Ailanthus altissima, Tree of Heaven, Ghetto Palm?
    It wont die, propagates through suckers and seed pods. I am ready to try TVC to see if that will kill it, glyphosphate like Roundup only makes the leaves fall off and they sprout again shortly after. They are coming up all over my lawn and I am considering just making it a rock garden. Is there anything I can use to kill it that will allow me to (eventually) grow a lawn?
    A

    Tree of Heaven is an invasive species that can require chemical and cultural methods to control completely. You will probably need to cut a treat the stumps directly with a product like Crossbow Specialty Herbicide for best results. This article from the PennState Extension service has more information about this difficult tree.

    Q
    Can I use Crossbow Specialty Herbicide to treat Brazilian pepper tree for basal bark and stump treatments?
    I also live near the ocean so am a little weary to use this. Would glyphosate like Rodeo be a better option possibly? I believe I could only use it for stump treatment. Lastly, how long after treatment of the tree and/or stump (I have thicker and thinner trees) could I plant vegetables in the area- I want to cut these invasives down and put raised garden beds down in that area. Thank you!
    A

    Control of Brazilian Pepper Tree can be tricky, and which herbicide is best will depend on the time of year and method that you are using. Something like Rodeo Herbicide (glyphosate) will likely only work on seedlings, and may take several weeks to kill the young plants. Crossbow Specialty Herbicide can be used for basal bark treatments in general, however the product label does not specifically list Brazilian pepper tree as a plant that it controls.

    Q
    Is there anything I can spray for sweet gum trees and not kill the pine trees?
    I'm trying to rid my pines of sweet gum trees. The pines just had there first thinning. The sweet gums are 10 ft and at the most 2 to 3 inches in diameter
    A

    In order to kill a tree that size, you would get the best results cutting the tree down to a stump and treating the fresh cut stump directly. If the trunk diameter is less than 6-8 inches, then you could potentially do a basal bark treatment with Crossbow Specialty Herbicide.
